I did my primary schooling at Sacred Heart School Lahore, Pakistan and St. Anthony's High School Lahore, Pakistan with an O Levels (Cambridge) from the latter in June 2000. During my stay at St. Anthony's, I stood 2nd at the All Punjab Poetry Competition and was Best Speaker 1998-2000. It was here that I developed my life-long passion for mathematics and poetry.

I proceeded to the National Grammar School Lahore, Pakistan (NGS) for my A Levels (Cambridge). In my two years of stay at NGS, I won Principals' Awards in Mathematics and Physics, Academician of the Year 2000-01 for topping in Mathematics and Best Speaker 2001-02. I had immensely benefited from Dr. Rafiq-ul-Haq, who had severed on the Cambridge board of O & A Levels, and the eminent physics teacher Khalid Iqbal.

I joined Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Swabi, Pakistan (GIK) for my B.S.E in Electronics Engineering. From 2002-06, I was a recipient of Deans Honor Roll (4 times), served as the Vice President and Executive Member of 7 societies, won Best Speaker and Batch Trophy in Declamation and Badminton 2005-06 and taught (voluntarily) for 1 year under the banner of Project Topi.

Post GIK, I pursed a full-time career in teaching. I joined the University of Engineering and Technology Lahore, Pakistan (UET) as a Lecturer and taught Electric Circuit Theory, Probability and Random Variables and Digital Signal Processing from 2006-08.

In the last quarter of my term at UET, I joined Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) at the renowned Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) in the capacity of an Instructor at the Experimental Physics Laboratory and as Development Engineer at the Laboratory of Cyber Physical Networks and Systems. From 2008-09, I was part of the team that developed the PhysLab 1 and Electric Circuits Lab for undergraduates and the curriculum committee for SBASSE. I also started my research in Robot Motion Planning that culminated into a publication at SAC ACM Conference at EPFL, Switzerland.

I completed an M.S.E in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (2012), an M.A (thesis) in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (2014), and a PhD in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (2015) Johns Hopkins University. My doctoral studies was funded by a PhD fellowship from Johns Hopkins University. My research interests lie at the intersection of Medical Imaging and Applied Mathematics. I was a member of Tomographic Image Reconstruction and Analysis Laboratory located in the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The title of my M.A thesis was Minimizing Nonconvex Quadratic Functions Subject to Bound Constraints and the title of my PhD thesis was Motion Correction and Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography.

Post PhD, I moved to Yale University where I was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Yale School of Medicine (2015 - 2017). I was also associated with the Yale PET Center and the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.

I have been intensely involved in teaching activities at Johns Hopkins University, assisting courses in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics. For three successive years, I instructed a course on Digital Signal Processing and MATLAB and conducted recitation sessions for a course on Image Processing and Analysis. I also instructed an intersession course on A Hands-on Introduction to MATLAB at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics. This course was attended by students from Department of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Carey Business School. I was also a member of Hopkins Imaging Initiative and served as a department representative in the Graduate Representative Organization.

Apart from academics, I am extremely fond of reading poetry, literature, singing/music and sports. I regularly post poetry on my Facebook profile which is a very selective piece from an ocean reflecting the philosophy and nuances of life and the world we dwell in.
